IMPROVEMENT IN VAPOR-BURNERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 212,705, dated February 25, 1879 application filed December 27, 1878 To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAs JOHNSON, of the city of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Vapor-Burners, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, referenoebein g had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

By the present improvement a fine jet from the heated supply-pipe impinges against the under side of a perforated deflector, that is surrounded by a horizontal ring, as shown, to turn the flames back upon themselves and cause thorough combustion.

In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective View, showing the burner in position in a gasstove. Fig. 2 is a vertical section axial to the burner.

The gasoline or other hydrocarbon liquid is contained in an elevated tank in com munication with the feed-pipe A. This pipe has a horizontal portion, A, containing a valve at a, outside which is a valve-chamber in communication with the jet hole B. O is the screwthreaded valve-stem. D is a standard upon the pipe A, having at top a deflector-cap, E, against whose under side the jet from B impinges. The cap E has preferably holes 0, to allow small streams of flame to pass directly upward.

Surrounding the deflector E is a horizontal imperforate narrow ring, F, against which the ring F, I found a large volume of light flame was produced, throwing a considerable quantity of smoke, and having a low temperature compared with that of the flame produced by the burner with the ring F added.

I am aware that there are a number of patented burners having a ioraminous tube of greater or less length, serving as a guide to the flame, and this I do not claim 5 but What I claim as new and of my invention 1s The combination, with the supply-pipe A, having jet-hole B, of the solid standard D, extending upwardly from the supply-pipe, horizontal deflecting-cap E, supported on said standard, and the imperforate annular deflector F, extending above and surrounding said deflectingcap, and having wings W, for supporting cooking utensils, substantially as set forth.
